    Thank you all so very much for the kind words. The fact that we are all on here making an effort to better ourselves is motivation in and of itself. We're all in this together :)

    Wow, what an amazing transformation. You look amazing. If you don't mind me asking, how many calories did you eat a day? Did you do any cardio or weights?

    Congrats on your amazing accomplishment!

    Thank you so much!
    To be honest, I had a little trouble figuring out my daily calorie goal and have only recently started a more consistent eating plan. I'm sure you've seen this posted before but it really helped me figure it out! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

    I'm currently eating at TDEE-20% which is 1643. My TDEE is 2054 and my BMR is 1479 (which is the amount of calories that my body needs to function if I did not do any physical activity). So I've been eating about 15-1650 calories a day.

    As for my workouts, I've been doing high intensity cardio about 3x/week and strength training 2-3x a week. I switch between P90x, Insanity, Zumba, and Billy Blanks dvds. I try not to do the same workouts in the same week so my body doesn't get used to it. I've also been trying to reduce my sodium intake because I had been retaining a lot of water. Still in trial & error mode but at least the scale is not going up! I hope that helps.

    Wow, you have done an incredible job! My starting weight and goal weight are pretty much the same as yours and when I read your story I felt like I was reading about myself. I really needed inspiration and seeing your pics has given me hope. Thanks for sharing your story. Good luck reaching your goal!
